hi, Can somebody shed more light on the above package please?
This is what google gave me: "Definition: desktop-file-utils: .desktop files are used to describe an application for inclusion in GNOME or KDE menus. This package contains desktop-file-validate which checks whether a .desktop file complies with the specification athttp:// www.freedesktop.org/standards/, and desktop-file-install which installs a desktop file to the standard directory, optionally fixing it up in the process." I've understood desktop-file-install (somewhat) from the above definition. However, I have been suggested to use update-desktop-database.[1] $ yum whatprovides update-desktop-database ... desktop-file-utils-0.15-3.fc10.x86_64 : Utilities for manipulating .desktop files Repo : fedora Matched from: Filename : /usr/bin/update-desktop-database Can somebody please tell me what update-desktop-database is responsible for? As much in detail as possible please? More info on the other two apps (desktop-file-validate/install) would also be great. I've already been here [2]. It merely describes how to use them in a spec and not what they do. :( [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507052#c6 [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#desktop-database -- regards, Ankur _______________________________________________ Fedora-india mailing list Fedora-india@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-india
